*When To Tell Kids About Transgender Gender Identity*

"… So, the doctors posed a question to their audience: Is kindergarten too young for kids to understand gender identity?

Almost every head in the audience nodded. They believed that a 5-year-old couldn't understand gender. But is that actually true?

Many experts would say no. "Without a doubt, there are kids as young as five, and younger, who are unquestionably clear about their transgender identity," says Ady Ben-Israel, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children. "Gender identity develops in all children by around 5 years old, so there's nothing surprising about a transgender child being clear about their identity at that age."

If 5 isn't too young to know that you're transgender, then how could it be too young for cisgender (meaning: not transgender) kids to understand that some people are trans or that more than two genders exist? …"

internet is ON brain is OFF i am ready to be INTENSELY INTIMATE with COMPLETE STRANGERS online

@RadioAngel liberals: "capitalism is just human nature! can you imagine the kind of work it'd take to make people understand and accept a different system?"

children who haven't been sufficiently socially conditioned yet: "I don't get it, why don't people just share and help each other?"

I know I've mentioned this before but I'll never forget when I was a kid and I heard about "the unemployment rate" or something for the first time and I tried to get my mom to explain it to me

If these people want to help, why don't we let them? They're poor, so is there not enough stuff for them? We could let them work and they can make stuff for themselves! Or if there already is enough stuff, we could just let everyone else work a little less and then these people can work too. Or just give them the stuff, if it's there already, and they wouldn't have to work because we don't need them to. Why don't we just do that, mommy?

And I honestly don't remember a shred of her answer because I'm 90% sure it was a dodge or otherwise just unsatisfying

Turns out, I was right! Unemployment *doesn't* make sense!
